Anyone building a business on Ebay is building their house on sand.
Ebay can ignore a history of positive feedback, close your store and
account down at their whim and without cause and then all of a sudden
any advertising dollars you spent promoting with Ebay are wasted.

We were even buying their $299 a week front page ads.

Anyone who trusts Ebay needs to simply do some reading of the horror
stories out there.

background on this, Steve? It would be interesting to read about
